French President Jacques Chirac has made clear he still believes the US-led military action against Iraq was illegitimate, despite backing reconstruction efforts in the wake of a bitter diplomatic spat.

At a news conference at the end of the G8 summit France was hosting, Mr Chirac said that any military action not supported by the United Nations Security Council was illegal.

His comments followed publication of a final summit declaration in which the leading industrialised nations said their aim was a "fully sovereign, stable and democratic Iraq".
